A black bear that spent part of Tuesday perched in a Bedford Heights, Ohio, tree besting the efforts of police, firefighters and animal control officers has finally come down and is on the run, WKYC-3 reports.

According to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, the land that today comprises the state was home to an abundant population of black bears. But by 1850 -- 47 years after Ohio became a state -- hunting, trapping and habitat destruction had killed the entire population.
